I'm brand new to the Wrangler family and I picked up my new 2012 Wrangler a month ago. Absolutely loving the car .
I am currently on the hunt for some decent seat covers that aren't going to cost me a bomb (everything I've found online is close to $500 for a full set!). Anyone have any suggestions?
I've had the Rugged Ridge neoprene seat covers on for over 2 years now and don't have any complaints. They could do with a wash now but they're comfortable and are not visibly wearing at all. They also provide a little padding against the rock hard head rest. The only downside to them is they trap the heat so you get a sweaty back in the summer. From memory though they weren't cheap. I'd guess they must have cost $500 for the set or something like that.
Not sure what else is on the market as I haven't looked for a while. Probably depends on what you want as well. Some like the sheepskin type but I didn't fancy that. Others that may be cheaper are more generic types but I never think they fit very well. That's why I ended up with the neoprene ones.

im a real tight arse and i just bought some canvas seat covers from super cheap cost me $50 for 2 front fitted seat covers, i drive a 2012 hilux 4x4 work ute and realy didnt wanna wreck the seats with stains off my dirty work clothes but same as you couldnt justify $500 for covers so i chucked 1 of these on my hilux and the other on the drivers seat of my j10, they seem pretty strong they are a little stiff still but i think they will soften after a few months and i figure for $50 pair if they last me 12 months then i would to get 10 years from a $500 pair to break even, but maybe im just trying to justify the fact im tight lol...
Supercrap had cheap sheep skin covers for $20 a week ago. the have the special from time to time.
i have a set on my XJ that have been there for 18 months. they are good.
$40 for the front seats is good I think. Grey is the only colour they have.

Yeh they fit pretty well for a generic cover, they did have 2 styles, 1 with the seperate headrest and the others are the 1 piece type which are the 1s i bought they fit well and a guy i work with bought the other style for his d40 navara and i reckon his actually fit better.
